Default 4WD upper control arm mounts

Mine are getting pretty rusty. The rest of the frame, other then the bump stop brackets are in very good shape.
Has anyone attempted repairing the mounts?
Thanks for your input.

Man i really wish I had some helpful input for you. A dedicated auto fab shop could do it I'm sure. Taking it to a good shop is nearly what I did with mine before I found a good replacement frame, but mine was way, way worse than yours. Good luck to you.

Hey Tbugden, thanks for your input. I've got a few months to go on my state inspection, then I'm going to have to try.. I plan to make a jig to keep the upper control arm in the same location. Then cut out the bad, fabricate what needs to be replaced, and fit it all in. If that fails, a SAS swap will be my next attempt.
